"Cam, why can't you be more careful? Now we'll have to clean this mess" Spencer said in an annoyed tone. Crystal put a hand on his shoulder "It's ok, it's just an accident. Cam, why don't you get a broom from the Janitor closet" Crystal looked at Cam, and Cam went off knowing Crystal will deal with Spence.

When Cam got to the Janitor's closet he saw Gwen there. Gwen saw him and was a bit flabergasted at his presence.

"Cam, what are you doing here?" she asked with a raised brow.

"Same question I wanted to ask you" Cam replied.

"I need to get a mop, someone spilt some pop on the floor" Gwen answered and opened the door. Cam followed and the door closed all by itself and locked. Gwen turned around.

"What was that sound?" she asked. Cam turned the doorknob

" We're locked in" Cam replied. Suddenly, the lights went out. "Faulty light bulb" Cam said in the dark.

"Yeah, I kind of noticed that Cam" Gwen said with a hint of sarcasm. Gwen banged on the door and screamed for help over and over, but no one answered. An hour past and then another and then another.

"Gwen, if we never make it out of here I want you to know something" Cam said his palms all cold and clammy.

"What is it?" Gwen replied biting her lip in anticipation knowing what he'll say next.

"I…I…I like you" Cam stuttered.

"I like you too, you're a nice person"

"No, I like you. As in I have affectionate feelings for you" Cam said holding her hand. Gwen lips found her way with his lips and they touched lightly at first but more passionate after. Gwen broke the contact and although, Cam couldn't see he knew she was smiling when she said: "I have feelings for you too"

"Why is Cam taking so long?" Spencer said in his mind.

"I'm going to check on Cam, wanna come?" asked Crystal.

"You've read my mind" Spencer replied smiling. Crystal and Spencer walked down the hallway to the janitor's closet talking about the paranormal when they saw an even more interesting topic. Crystal opened the door and saw Cam and Gwen in a comproming position. Spencer was shocked and speechless. Cam and Gwen turned their heads and saw them there, like it was a reflex Cam and Gwen separated and Gwen walked out.

"I didn't know it was Gwen until you opened the door" Cam explained.

"Right, whatever you say" Spencer sarcastically replied smiling.

While everyone was busy with their little lives, confessing their feelings, making out in the dark and falling head over heels for someone they met just a few days ago. Zack was in the library desperately searching for evidence that Crystal isn't what she appears to be. Looking through shelves and shelves of books on the paranormal, he decided to give up and accept the fact that maybe Crystal is "normal". He walked out of the library and took a nice stroll around the park, when he saw a big willow tree. It wasn't any different from any other willow tree, but Zack felt drawn to it like there's some secret behind it. He touched the tree trunk and in a flash a light Zack was in a big white room.

Zack looked around and started to wander in this vast space. While he was walking, he saw a glass table and on top was a red button. He was about to push the big red button when a note instantly appeared. Zack read the note: Do Not Push This Button! I reheat Do Not Push This Button! If you choose to ignore me, please know that what you are going to see is not very pleasant. If you push this button, you are at risk of never coming back to your own dimension. You will be stuck wandering the minds of others, and feeling their pain when the whole world was destroyed. I'm only telling you this now so, you won't regret. Hey! Don't reach for it! Do you even understand what I'm saying? Don't do it! Fine, then, push the stupid button. No! Don't! I was kidding! Zack, like everyone human being would chose to ignore the note and pushed the big red button. "It's just a button right? How much harm can it do?" Zack thought. His whole world went dark and when he opened his eyes, he wasn't in the white room anymore.

The skies were painted red, the ground was all rock, the trees were all burned and the air smelt of ashes. He walked around and saw people running about.

"Excuse me, sir. What are you running from?" Zack asked a near by man.

"What am I running from? Are you trying to be stupid? Everyone is running from the plague, the ultimate destruction. That's what we are running away from. The hospital is filled with dying people, everyone is running away to avoid catching this disease. The world has changed, boy. God is punishing us! Not so long ago, the skies were clear and blue and the trees were in full bloom. Now, the world has come to an end!" The man replied and started to run again.

"I really shouldn't have pushed that button" Zack said to himself walking in the direction of the hospital when, once again his world went black.

He opened his eyes and this time he saw hospital beds and sick patients. His whole body felt cold and weak. He went to search for a nurse, but he couldn't find one. His whole body was aching and he felt really tired and thirsty. Finally, his knee gave way and he collapsed on the floor. When he woke up, he saw a little girl beside him staring at him.

"Hi, mister" she said smiling. Zack smiled back. "Do you feel tired and thirsty?" The girl asked. Zack nodded his head. "Here, I'll help you." She said taking out a knife. "It won't hurt" she concluded and stabbed him. Zack felt a stinging pain in his abdomen and his vision was getting blurry. "I want out" he whispered before his world went dark yet again for the third time.

He opened his eyes and he was in front of the willow tree. He stood up and looked at his watch. It has only been 5 minutes, but what ever he just experience felt like two hours. He looked at the tree, and on its trunk was a symbol… a very familiar symbol. He tried to remember, and then he got it. It's the same symbol on Crystal's watch. "I knew something wasn't right about her" He said to himself.
